Right-click for MOVE TO?

[T. Wise]

If I'm in Explorer, select a file and hit Edit / Move to Folder, I get a
Move Items window that lets me select (or create) a folder to move that file
to.

Is there any way I can get this Move to Folder function by right-clicking on
the file? It's not one of the default right-click options, but I'm
wondering if there's some way I can add this.

Add the Move To and Copy To buttons to the toolbar. Select the files
and click on the toolbar button (no need to right-click and then select
Move To).

Or get the SendTo powertoy for Windows 95 (it still works in Windows
2000/XP).

Use the "Explore" option for "My Computer" so you get the folder tree
pane on the left side of the Windows Explorer window. Then drag the file
to the destination folder with the RIGHT mouse button instead of the
left button. As soon as you release the button, a context menu will
appear that will allow you the choice of moving or copying the file.

As do most of the other ones as well... I like the ZOOM power toy (Zoom in
or Zoom out) images in IE... Works great it the site actually uses the
width and height tags in their HTML...
